PARANDEKAR: Mobilizing Controlled Substances

Nikhita Parandekar  —  Apr 26, 2013

It’s the end of second year now, which means it’s around the time to start thinking about what we want to do with the rest of our lives. I was going to write this last column of the semester about the process of making those “big life decisions,” but there are more important legislative issues to discuss. The Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act of 2013 is currently before Congress.

BOOKHEIMER: The Cornell Bubble

Morgan Bookheimer  —  Apr 25, 2013

Being an opinion columnist comes with a lot of criticism. Any decent opinion, by definition, will have dissenting viewpoints. Over the past two years, it seems as if my best columns had, along with many supporters, hoards of people who disagreed with me. For example, “Cornell’s Sexiest Majors” caused a lot of controversy.

SEX ON THURSDAYS: Dear Ms. Portman

Dear Natalie Portman: This is my last chance to discuss sex with the wider world and I want to use this chance to talk to you. Ms. Portman, you’re an intelligent, articulate, beautiful woman. A single glance from you strikes me with the full force of Thor’s Mjolnir! Everyone says I love you, but I know love is just a phantom menace, coming down from a cold mountain to where the heart is.

SEX ON THURSDAYS: The (Back) End Is in Sight

Mona G.  —  Apr 25, 2013

As a graduating senior, my reign as sex columnist is too quickly coming to an end. I’ve spent four years expanding my sexual horizons with adventures such as Arts Quad building rendezvous deemed “study breaks,” woodland lovemaking (on film), girl-on-girl-on-guy action and a recent love sesh on Schoellkopf field where touchdowns were, for once, plentiful.

ROSEN: So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Dan Rosen  —  Apr 24, 2013

My freshman year, on Slope Day, I was graced with the opportunity to see a truly inspiring artist, a voice for a generation and a cultural icon. Yes, I am of course talking about Drake, the former wheelchair bound Degrassi star turned Bob-Dylan of rap.

GUEST ROOM: One Year Out

Olivia Moore an...  —  Apr 24, 2013

At the start of our final semester at Cornell, worried that time was running out to check everything off our college bucket lists, we attended the Cornell Alumni Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. From the moment we entered the hotel, we were overwhelmed with enthusiastic, excited alumni.

SINGH: Giving Up on Europe

Kirat Singh  —  Apr 23, 2013

The economic crisis in the Eurozone has progressed to a point at which it is impossible to follow and understand. A nebulous, parasitic presence, it more closely resembles a disease the continent is slowly learning to live with rather than one for which there is a cure. One need only glance at the Financial Times’ aggregation of stories about the crisis to realize the absurdity at play.

GUEST ROOM: Life in the Real World: Playing the Terminator

Hazel Gun  —  Apr 23, 2013

I’m lazy. Really lazy. But I want a lot out of life. I want a huge house and a lifetime of lavish vacations. I never bothered to think about how I would get any of this because so far, my life has been a cakewalk. When I graduated, my parents gently shoved me out of the nest, but I wasn’t worried about financing my fancy lifestyle.
